C61 Biochemical crisis

Solon's current mood was indeed very bad. The reason for his bad mood was because he encountered a battle on the road that was instigated by a non-human being.

After knowing that Zero had brought Leah to Remte, he gathered his team and left Z7 base. If all went well, Solon could very well come to this gathering area on the second day after he had arrived at Remte. If things go on like this, Zero could forget about taking any risks in the ruins of University City Lampez and wouldn't know Su and Ben. He and Leah would be detained by Solon and brought back to the Dark Council's base camp.

But life doesn't have the word 'if'.

The reason why Solon was "late" was because they had encountered the group of living corpse on the way there.

It was not coincidental that the living corpse migrations that Su Yun and Tai Di saw during their night camp outside of Silver Tree City happened to happen. The living corpse groups from the Silver Tree City, as well as other similar migrations from unknown places, gathered quietly in a City Ruins on their way to Remte. In order to catch up with them, Solon travelled day and night. At night, the living corpse wandering by the side of the road smelled the fresh flesh on the members of Solon's team.

Of course, the living corpse s who didn't even have a hundred in number were no match for Solon's group. Not long after the battle began, it ended. Solon did not mind and ordered the group to continue forward. He did not expect that not too far away, in the ruins, more living corpse heard the gunshot and were attracted over. Therefore, when they met each other for the second time, Solon faced hundreds or thousands of living corpse.

Just like this, it wouldn't delay Solon for too long. However, the group of living corpse that came to cause trouble actually had high level living corpse like the butcher and lacerator, and there were quite a few of them as well. Be it the butcher or the lacerator, every group of living corpse would naturally not produce that many high grade goods. And that night, among the attacking living corpse, there were more than twenty butcher and lacerator.

Compared to the butcher who was like a human-like tank, lacerator was short and short. Their appearance was no different from normal living corpse s, but their bones had already mutated to a high degree. The bones of every part of lacerator's body could be transformed according to their needs into sharp bone blades that could easily tear apart an armoured chariot.

Under certain circumstances, the lacerator was much more dangerous than a butcher. Taking the second fight with the living corpse for example, lacerator who was among their own kind only launched a surprise attack when they got close to Solon's group. They, who treated their comrades as cannon fodder, gave Solon's side a lot of pressure.

In the end, it was only Solon who went in personally, and only then did he temporarily force the group of living corpse to retreat. But very quickly, the scouts sent a message. Another group of living corpse had already gathered and were heading towards the main road. After knowing that his own troops were not strong enough to kill more living corpse, Solon could only unwillingly give the order to avoid, and the team continued to retreat into the Silver Tree City. Using the cover of the city's buildings, Solon's team fought a tug of war with the living corpse in the Silver Tree City for three days.

No one could do anything to them until the living corpse began to retreat. With half of the troop's troops gone, Solon did not dare to underestimate them and travelled through the night. They started to go out into the night, and during this time, Solon sent out. Solon's original intention was for Kabu to figure out the distribution of the living corpse along the way, so that he wouldn't have to start a war with the living corpse like last time.

But unexpectedly, when Kabu went over, he discovered something strange.

This Tracing Specialist followed the traces the living corpse had passed and arrived at the ruins they were living in. He discovered that a certain area in the ruins was guarded by layers of high level monsters like the butcher and lacerator. Kabu thought it was strange. He used a nearby tall building to do a long-distance reconnaissance, and the scene that he saw through the multiplier telescope was projected onto Solon's tactical plate through the Dark Council's network.

Thus, Solon saw an unforgettable scene in his life.

Countless living corpse were biting and devouring each other in one building. Broken limbs, internal organs, intestines, and brain matter sprayed all over the floor. The bloody scene was enough to make any crazy person unable to eat for three days. Solon's mental state could not be considered slender, but it was not to the extent of being thick enough to look at these scenes and turn a blind eye to them.

reported the strange phenomenon of the living corpse to the headquarters, but this was not his main task. After this small incident, Solon led the group and continued their journey, while the returning Tracing Specialist directly rested for two days before appearing once again.

With regards to the abnormal movement of the living corpse, not long after, Solon received the order to "never mention it again". Solon knew clearly that if such a huge number of living corpse were to fall into trouble, the bases or companies within 3000 kilometers of marginal zone would all be destroyed. The masters of the Dark Council did not plan to remind the companies nearby, so Solon would naturally not worry about them. From his point of view, this place was like a backwater, even if everyone died, it did not concern him, even if his family owned a small mining base in the area.

Therefore, in front of the second in command of the Remte, Theon had never mentioned that a biochemical storm was brewing a thousand kilometers behind the Remte.

Right now, what Solon was more concerned about was still the movements of Su Yun and Leah.

Looking at the photo on top of the tactical plate, Theon revealed a cordial smile: "So you were looking for those two, then you can be considered to have asked the right person."

This was the best news that Solon had heard in the past week. The young man's face revealed a rare smile.

The city that Ron's company was in was called Raging Reef City, and it was a city that towered above the ocean. Because of geology, the Raging Reef City was not able to construct underground base like the Remte. Ron could only set up all sorts of radiation purifying device in this city to reduce the exposure of the city's residents to the surface radiation.

Fifty years after the Cataclysm, even the average person's resistance to radiation has increased many times. As a result, although they lived on the surface, they could barely survive by relying on purifying device. However, the average life expectancy of the surface dwellers would be one third less than that of the base dwellers. They would also be infected with all sorts of strange diseases.

However, in this turbulent era, having a roof over one watt is already considered heaven, so the citizens of Raging Reef City did not have too many complaints.

Su He and Leah arrived at the city that was presided over by Ron Corporation at noon yesterday. This place was unlike the Remte, where there was no strict access system. Ron's company had a loose system. Other than the guards at the company's headquarters, only the Magistrate was in charge of maintaining order in the city.

Of course, you don't need to count on a few Magistrate s to be of any help. Generally speaking, these Han security officials are just passing by. Therefore, the Raging Reef City could be said to be a free city, or it could be said to be a chaotic city.

Zero left Leah in a hotel opened by the officials of Ron. The fee paid here was 30% higher than that of a normal hotel, but no one dared to cause trouble inside the hotel. It was safer for Leah to stay here than in a privately owned hotel with a mix of dragon and snake. Only by temporarily registering in the main hall of each city would the mercenary soldier or hunters be able to obtain information and missions from the unions.

After completing the registration formalities, Zero Request met with the Trade Union Chairman. He hoped to use this opportunity to get close to Ron's higher ups in order to obtain information on the company or organization that might be able to heal Leah. But this appointment, to this day, still has no news. Zero had to put it aside for the time being, and information had another source besides official sources.

The place where that kind of channel was located was undoubtedly a tavern. Thus, at nine o'clock in the evening, Zero appeared in front of the only pub in Raging Reef City.
